Michelle Cato Makeup & Hair Artist

Michelle is a miracle worker! She and her team were able to turn the wedding of my dreams into a reality by making my entire bridal party look incredible. She highlights your natural features and without making you feel like you've caked on the make up. And her Hollywood waves were a talking point with all of my guests. If only I were getting married again so I could be a return customer!

Michelle set the tone for our day. My morning was so calm and fun and exciting with her around and absolutely made the whole getting ready process as seamless as could be. Her hair and makeup skills are unbeatable.

Words do not describe how incredible Michelle is, but I’m going to try. From the first email she was absolutely wonderful and helpful. In person she is always smiling and has a way of making you feel calm. The morning of the wedding went so smoothly. I asked for my hair to be done very differently to most, and even though it wasn’t something she had done before she said she was willing to practice and give it a go. She never stressed or worried or outright said no. Her positive attitude paid off and she did an extraordinary job with my hair! And to top it off, I changed my mind about the makeup a few weeks before the wedding and after the trial and it wasn’t a big deal. The makeup lasted all day and even though there were tears at the start of the wedding, it never smudged or ran.Thank you so much Michelle, and all the best for the future!
